BRuBAKER.-The Great Commander of the
Universe hath relieved from earthly duty and
mustered into the ranks of the Silent Great
Grand Army another comrade. Once again
comrade has been called to gather up his
working tools and answer to the final
call and gathered home to rest Jan. 10th,
1887, after an illness of ten days duration of
pneumonia, at the family residence, four
miles west of Napoleon, VIM. D. Brubaker,
eldest son of Henry and Selah Brubaker,
born in Stark county, o., Jan. 18th, 1889. His
parents came to Henry county and settled
where what now forms part of Napoleon
about 38 years ago. #EGt& @

The "January Thaw" and Flood Dan.
gers.

The succession of storm centres now
crossing the country is likely to bring
on the "January thaw" in earnest.
This mid-winter thaw is not based on a
vulgar fallacy but upon great climatic
law. It is due to the fact that the suns
expansive force in the southern hemis-
phere is now at its maximum, and con-
sequently immense masses of vapor-
laden air are driven out of that hemis-
phere across the Equator into the north
ern hemisphere, where its vapor is con-
densed into heavy rains.
The first sign of this movement was
reported on the 4th inst by Captain R.
B. Quick, of the steamer Eureka. as a
"thick vapor" at sea. Captain J. W,
Reynolds, of the steamer City of Alex
andria, and Captain w. G. Shackford
of the steamer Newport, reported the
same day "thick steam vapor" and
"thick vapor." These ocean records
are of interest as beautifully illustrat-
ing the law to which We refer. But
they are of great practical importance
as premonitory signs of the mid-Janu.
ary thaw on our continent.
The obvious effect Of this change is tc
increase the flood dangers in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys. Preparation
cannot be too soon made, after the late
heavy snow-falls, to guard against these
flood perils.-N Y Herald. ltt Il

Isn't that a straightforward, manly
letter." ~ 81

out of schOOln and his fellow physi-
clans, who want the public to think
they have a monopoly in curing dis

admitting professional inability 10

- THAT letter created wonderful SEN
sation among the titled classes and the
public. This Jared the doctors terribly.
The College of Surgeons and Queens
College, from which institution he was
graduated, asked for an explanation OF
his unprofessional conduct, and Motif.
ed him that unless he made retrae-
ten they would discipline him.
1.-THE doctor replied that he allowed
his patients to make use of Warmers
safe cure only after all the regular
methods had failed, and when he was
satisfied that there was impossible hope
for them. Upon their recovery, after
having used Warmers safe cure, he was
so much surprised that he wrote the
above letter to the Family Doctor. He
regretted that the faculties found fault
with his action in the matter, but he
could not conscientiously retract the
facts as written to the Family Doctor.
"The faculties of both colleges replied
that unless he retracted they should
cut him off, which would naturally
debar him from again practicing his
profession, and also prevent his secur-
ing another appointment in the Royal
Navyw "
The illustrious Doctors dilemma is
certainly an unpleasant one, emphasiz.
ing, as 1t does, both his own honesty,
and the contemplate prejudice and
bigotry of English medical men. The
masses, however, having no sympathy
with their nonsense, keep on using the
remedy he so highly recommends and
get well, while the rich and able de-
pend upon the prejudiced doctors and
die!

NY" 1t is estimated that the canals of Ohio
are worth not less than $16,0O0,OOO, snug
little sum for some talented lobbyist to take
in out Of the cold. There is only one proper
thing to be done at present with all artificial
waterways north of Brighton, and that one
proper thing is to let them alone. The day
may come when canal between the Ohio

TAXING MORTGAGES.
Criticism ofthe Method Suggested by
the Governor for Collecting This
Tax.
To the Edit or of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Governor Foraker, in his message of
to-day, recommends that every mort
gage on land in. Ohio shall be taxed
where the land is, and when the tax
is not paid by the mortgage, or some
one for him, the mortgagor may pay
the same, and be credited therefor
double the amount so paid, as an in
ducement thereto, as for payment of
his debt" @ b @
If this unwise recommendation were
needed by the General Assembly OF
Ohio, the effect would be: I. To drive
all foreign capital now loaned on mort
cages from the State and compel ber-
rowers to rely wholly upon home capi-
tai. 2 .f ''h's
2. The demand for money to pay
back foreign loans would advance the
rates of interest three per cent, max
ing the current rate ten instead of sew
en-.
8. Half the owners of city property
whose lands and lots are mortgaged
would be sold out by the sheriff.
4. There would be a greater shrink
age IN the market value of real estate
than has heretofore been known in the
State, and a panic would be precipitated
more disastrous to it than that of 1873.
Let us see how the matter stands.
New York loans $40, 900 in gold to Ohio
and takes mortgage. If the gold had
not been sent here there would be only
the land tax; but, being sent here, the
State taxes both gold and farm, and so
Increases its revenue. Now suppose by
threat of O tax on New York's evidence
of Ohio's indebtedness, the gold is with
drawn, then there will only be the farm
to tax, and the States revenue is di-
minished. Again, suppose the threat
ofa tax deters foreign capital from COM
ing to Ohio, then, from this source at
least the States revenue connot be in
creased. Again, suppose this threat OF
taxation lessons the money in Ohio
twenty-five per cent, would not the
rate of interest be proportionally in
creased? And would not this increase
fall wholly upon the borrower? And
would not the dearth of money lead to
reduction of the market value of all
property. and so make q smaller tax
duplicate and less revenue?
Again, suppose the mortgage is taxed
where the land is, and the money
loaned on the mortgage is taxed where
it is, and the farm is taxed where it is,
and the foreign mortgage is taxed on
the mortgage note where it is, would
not gross wrong be perpetrated some
whereby treble taxation?
Again, suppose the real estate own.
ers who have borrowed from Life In
surance Companies and capitalists OF
other States were compelled to raise
money at home to pay debts due
abroad, would they not come in com.
petition with, and thus cripple, the
home merchant, mechanic and trader
who are now borrowers and who must
continue to be in order to do profitable
business?
Governor Foraker has unfortunately
caught on to the wrong end of this
business, and the wisest thing the Leg
islature can do is to help him let go.

ssy1 The publicity given to crime by en-
terprising newspaper publishers, has the ef-
feet of making some people think that the
world is growing worse in spite OF all our
schools and churches, Luther once sald' "A
man may have thousand virtues which are
unnoticed, but if he has one vice, lis con-
tinually noticed" So some people always
look at the dark side rather than the bright
aide of things. The number of murders and
crimes committed is indeed large, but we
must remember that the telegraph and daily
paper spread the crimes of the whole country
before our eyes.
